Timeless kids' bedrooms

THESE SIMPLE DESIGN INGREDIENTS ARE ALL YOU NEED TO CREATE AN INSPIRING YET RESTFUL SLEEP SPACE. TAKE A LOOK AT OUR TIPS FOR A SCHEME TO TAKE THEM FROM TODDLER TO TEEN

1. BUILT-IN BED

A built-in bed is ideal for rooms with limited floor space, as you can make the most of the room’s height and add built-in storage below. Hanging curtains will turn it into a cosy den for younger children, or give older kids a sense of privacy. Avoid character featured bedding and instead go for something with a pop of colour or a bold pattern.

2. STUDY STATION

Give them a dedicated spot for doodling, crafting and for older kids, homework, so you can confine the chaos to one place, as well as free up the kitchen table. Choose a plain desk with some storage built in, like a couple of drawers or a cubby space for keeping colouring books and stationery.
